I recall there being a Python module that supported geometric algebras,
in which quaternions and octonions (not octonians) are pretty easily
emulated, and not in a way that defeats their purpose (like matrices).
I know that it was posted to comp.lang.python some months or years ago;
a Google Groups search would probably turn it up.
